Blind Adam will be exhibited at high-end concept store Métal Flaque on Rue de l'Échelle in Paris from January 25 onwards..

Blind Adam is an art project mostly
inspired by Jean Cocteau's and Giacometti's artwork and by the allegoric
tale "The Emperor's new clothes". All these influences crystallized
into the "invisible clothes". These constructions that represent
garments stripped to their bare structure have a strong imposing
presence which in the same time can also look almost ghostly. Another
characteristic is that they look like manuscripts with visible
corrections on them and that they have a trompe l' œil 3D effect. The
basic idea is the creation of pieces , made from assembled knot yarn,
that resemble clothes' skeletons or different forms , depending on the
concept each time .

Former Greek fashion editor Thanos Kyriakides started Blind Adam in
2007. When actually blind, it was obvious his eyesight problem
(retinitis pigmentosa -a genetic disease of the retina) became
frustrating. The reasons were that aside from having to deal with
working as a fashion editor who can't see very well, he also had to deal
with people's reaction to it. Seven years later, Kyriakides developed
some new skills in order to enable himself to continue working in
fashion. By then, it was easy for him to understand all about a garment
mostly by touching it. And one day, he decided to start this new project
using use all his experience in fashion and also his studies on history
of art.
